Summa Review

While SummaCare has a strong reputation within the northern Ohio area, the government audit has complicated their ability in recent months to provide local seniors with Medicare Advantage and Part D prescription drug coverage. However, in late March of 2015, it was reported that SummaCare should resume their Medicare Advantage enrollment in the near future.
